THE new anti-Polygamy law is a fail
ure. 1t contains test oath, and very
stringent one The Mormons take the
oath, however, without blinking, because
they are taught that a United States
oath means nothing. The bill is there
fore imperative. Legislation will never
affect Mormonism until some practical
men take hold of it.-CGrSOn (NeU.) Ap-
peal.
Nothing but Congressional legislation
will ever make Utah a loyal Territory.
The small number of Gentiles here are
powerless so long as the disloyal element
holds the elective franchise, which no
test oath that can be devised will ever
deprive it of. Practical men" took the
matter in hand during the last two ses-
sions of Congress. They formulated a
bill which could not only have affected
Mormonism," but rendered it powerless
for harm for all time to come. One i'm
practicable man destroyed their work.
There were practical men enough in Con-
gress to have accomplished the end.
Their only mistake was in not sitting
down promptly and solidly on the one
impracticable man.

House would have transferred the pollt-
ical power in the Territory from disloyal
to loyal hands. They admit that the
present law will not accomplish that end.
They will not deny that Mr.. Edmunds
was directly responsible for the change.
Then why should he not be denounced
by every loyal voice for so bitterly dlsap-
pointing every patriotic heart in this
accursed and priest-ridden land? IHE
DEMOCRAT is not oblivious to the services
rendered bv the Senator from Vermont
in the past. His bill of 1882 was the best
that had been passed up to that time. 1t
was good forerunner for such legislation
as he defeated in 1887, although in itself
it has accomplished nothing toward the
final settlement of the Mormon question.
He is like the COW who, giving a big
bucketful of milk, at the last moment
kicks over the vessel and spills the con-
tents on the ground. Benedict Arnold
rendered excellent service to the Colonial
cause for years before he attempted to
surrender West Point into the hands of
the British. His previous record did not
shield him from the just indignation OF
the American people, nor has history
been more lenient to his treason on
account of his former exploits.

FIRMLY FIXED. .

THE DEMOCRAT is installed in its new
quarters, full description OF which will
be found upon our local page. The
largest, most complete and best job office
in the Territory has been added to the
establishment. A three years. lease has
been taken of the new quarters, although
it is confidently hoped that before one
half of that time has expired
it will be occupyinga a more commodious
and magnificent structure OF its own.
The friends of this paper need entertain
no fears in regard to its future, while its
enemies may console themselves the
best they can over the disappointment
of their hopes Of its early de
mise. The DEMOCRAT is established
on frmer basis than any
journal in the Great Basin. 1t is here to
stay, and the combined efforts of Nor
monism. selfish and bigoted partisan
ship and Sheol cannot prevail against
it. 1t will continue to advocate
National Democratic principles ana
the overthrow of Church and
State rule in this Territory. 1t
expects, in common with all other legiti-
mate business enterprises, to profit by
the redemption of Utah from priestly
rule, and as its interest does not lie in
the continuation of the present turmoil, it
has the incentive of gain as well
as principle to strive for, the early
settlement Of the local question. 1t
will be the aim of THE DEMOCRAT
to issue the best newspaper in
the Territory. Constant improvement
will be made in all of its departments as
business justifies and circumstances de-
mand. With a cordial greeting to our
friends from our new quarters, we wish
them, one and all, the same prosperity
which we feel assured is in store for THE
SALT LAKE DEMOCRAT.

RANDALL.

1t is to be hoped that the report that
the Democrats of Randall's district will
reject him in the next nominating con-
vention is true. While his ability is con-
ceded, there is no reason why he should
be permitted longer to prostitute it at the
altar of Republicanism. He has mas
queraded long enough as a Democrat,
while every effort was directed against
one of the cardinal principles of that
party. Both parties in their last national
conventions pledged themselves to tariff
reduction Years ago the Republican
Tariff Commission recommended a reduc-
ton of twenty per cent. on the present war
rates. The Democrats in two Congresses
since have sought to carry out the pledges
of their party, but the Republicans in
the House, aided by Randall and his
few professed Democratic followers, have
defeated every attempt even to consider
the subject. This is notorious and it is
equally notorious that these obstruction
lists have offered upon their part no
measure to reduce the burden OF taxa
ton upon the necessaries of life. In con-
sequence OF this do-nothing policy of the
Republicans a surplus of more than
$l00,000,00 year continues to be ex-
torted from the people, and the country
is growing restless under it. The OBJ
at re fn o.
thing must be done to relieve themselves
of the odium of sustaining the rapidly
increasing surplus in the National Treas
ury. To this end Mr.. Randall pre-
pared a bill for the total repeal of
the tobacco tax. This is proven by a
letter which he addressed to Speaker
Carlisle asking recognition for the pur-
pose of introducing his bill. Mr.. Car
Isle very properly refused to become a
party to such a scheme. The Democratic
platform denounces "the abuses of the
existing tariff and demands heavier
rates on articles of luxury and lighter on
articles of necessity. But Mr.. Randall
ll6iu JlldJ ILS Ouly dDUoSo Vi IllO OAloI-
ing tariff were the taxes on tobacco and
that was the only tax whose repeal he
would favor or consent to have discussed.
Here Mr.. Randall represented the Re-
publican, and Mr.. Carlisle the Demo
cratic position. Was there ever a country
before that taxed its people to produce
100000, 900 year beyondthe needs ofthe
government for its Legislators to squander
Was there ever country before that
proposed to reduce the voluntary taxes
on luxuries and articles of useless in
diligence like whisky and tobacco, which
are only destructive industries, leaving
the over burdened necessaries un-
touched? This is the Republican policy.
The Democratic party will never
come to Mr.. Randall upon this
proposition. Let him go to the Re-
publican party whose policy is in har-
mony with his own. Let him be no
longer elected as a Democrat to repre-
sent Republican interests and oppose
Democratic principles.

AN insignificant, seven-by-nine hand
bill blacksmithed at Ogden is trying to
provoke this paper into advertising it up
to twenty or twenty-five per cent of the
DEMOCRATS circulation at the Junction
City. 1t will be wofully disappointed.
1t will not be gratifed by a single
responsive filth vessel, nor a recognitory
kick. THE DEMOCRAT has too much self
respect and regard for its cleanliness to
handle the former, while life is too short
and time too valuable for it to turn aside
to administer its journalistic stogy to
every NANCY cur that comes yelping at
its heels

MERITED SEVERITY.

Some of our Republican friends object
TO the DEMOCRATS structures upon Senator
Edmunds. This paper is decidedly in
earnest in its advocacy of the overthrow
of Mormon political power in Utah.
When the Tucker bill passed the House
it thought it discerned the sunlight
through the rifted clouds. When Mr..
Edmunds' emasculation was submitted to
by the conference committee, all was
again obscured in darkness, and bitter
disappointment crowded aside exultant
hope. The DEMOCRAT confesses its in
ability to comment with Christian mild
ness and forbearance upon the man who
snatched victory almost from the very
grasp of Utah's loyal people. Those who
censure the DEMOCRAT for its severity
admit that the bill as it came from the
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-03-14

SUBSCRIBER" and Birdie" are re-
spectfully informed that THE DEMOCRAT
publishes no communications unless ac-
companed by the real names of the
writer's. This is a rule from which there
can be no deviation. There is much in
each of the letters of the above men
toned correspondents which is approved
by this paper, but we can publish neither
for the reason We have given. Real
names accompanying communications,
are held as confidential unless demanded
by some person directly interested, but
they must be given us, as evidence of the
good faith of the writers.

JUDGE BENNETT is confident that the
President would have signed the Tucker
bill as it passed the House, or at all
events that he would have permitted it
to become law. His reason for this is
that members of the Judiciary Committee
were in frequent consultation with Mr..
Cleveland while she measure was under
consideration in that body. The Judge
is of the opinion that the Presidents OBJ
jections to the bill which came before
him were confined to two clauses. He
evidently thought that the residue of the
proceeds from the church property should
be distributed pro rata among the con-
tributors. He also objected to the clause
conferring judicial power upon the Mar
shall in the matter of bonds. While these
objections were not strong enough to in
duce him to veto the bill, they doubtless
actuated him in withholding his ap-
proving signature.

UTAH Republicans are picking at the
great speech OF the great Kentuckian,
John G. Carlisle, on the score of State
rights. We of Utah have nothing to do
with State rights. Mormon rights and
State rights are points dramatically op-
posed to each other. Condemnation of Re-
publican legislation in Congress is more
pertinent to Utah tongues just now than
reproach for alleged Democratic delin-
nuancins

A MAGAZINE, in speaking of the habit
contracted by various authors of walking
up and down the room at night assumes
that these gentlemen are all single, and
says: 'It is not the husband who con-
tracts the Satanic habit of walking up
and down the floor o'nights. -
Does the writer of the above
know anything of babies, and did
he ever shear of infantine collie, and
Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup? If not,
what does he know about ''the
Satanic habit, i. e., necessity, of married
authors walking up and down the floor
o'night.'

fact that the well-known and prolific

would always be on hand for bait.

THERE was time, not very far distant,
when the Republican press teemed with
such expressions as "a dreary waste OF
words" a constipation of ideas," ETC.,
and so on, as comments upon the Presi-
dents state papers. Nothing of the kind
is to be seen now. The President't state
papers are severely let alone. Can 1t be
that Mr.. Cleveland's laconic and vigor-
Gus veto is responsible for this conspicu-
GUS vacuum in the columns OF our Repub-
lican contemporaries.

ground that an applicant for pension,
who secures it by special act of Congress
thereby loses his arrears. The President
on this account returned bill in favor OF
Rachel Ann Pierpont. A pension had
been granted her under the general laws
dating back to December, 1879. For the
same reason the bill in favor Of Jacob
Smith was vetoed. Under this certificate
his pension will date back to sometime
in 1882, while under the bill it would
only have begun with its passage.
